In counties where a proposition for the levy of a tax for the care and treatment of persons afflicted with tuberculosis has been adopted as provided in this Division, the board of directors shall use funds secured under this Division in providing sanitarium care in private or public sanitariums and clinical and follow-up services for inhabitants of the county who may be afflicted with tuberculosis. The board of directors shall, upon the request or by the consent of the person afflicted or of his or her parent or guardian, under proper rules and regulations, care for and treat tuberculosis in the homes of persons afflicted with tuberculosis, shall furnish nurses, instruction, medicines, attendance and all other aid necessary to effect a cure and shall do all things in and about the treatment and care of persons afflicted with tuberculosis, which will have a tendency to effect a cure of the person or persons afflicted therewith and to eradicate tuberculosis in the county including the discovery of undiagnosed tuberculosis in the county. No person shall be compelled to undergo an examination or test for tuberculosis if he or she objects thereto on the ground that it is contrary to his or her religious convictions, unless there is probable cause to suspect that he or she is infected with tuberculosis in a communicable stage. Boards of directors shall provide out-patient clinical and follow-up services to tuberculosis patients, in accordance with minimum standards prescribed therefor, by the director of the Department of Public Health. The board of directors may make such arrangements and agreements with public or private health agencies for cooperation and assistance in providing case-finding services and out-patient clinical and follow-up services as it considers necessary or desirable.
